Please note that list of top 10 Ghibli movies in this post is subjective and mentions the films I enjoyed the most.

Joe Hisaishi and Studio Ghibli

Joe Hisaishi composed many wonderful music scores for Ghibli films. This is an excerpt from his concert featuring music for some of my favorite anime: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Princess Mononoke, and Kiki’s Delivery Service

Yakushima Forests

Yakushima (屋久島, Yakushima) is an island of about 500 km² and roughly 15,000 islanders to the south of Kyūshū in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. Yakushima’s unique remnant of a warm-temperate ancient forest is a natural World Heritage Site since 1993. The “pristine” Yakusugi Forest is visited by 300,000 tourists every year. It is said to have inspired the forest setting in Hayao Miyazaki’s film Princess Mononoke. (Wiki)

Princess Mononoke – Jynweythek Ylow

Mononoke Hime is one of my favorite animations by Ghibli. I found this nice AMV recently.
